The Rockets' color guy is Calvin Murphy, and he still holds the record for highest free throw percentage in a single season (95.8%). He was close to losing that record back in 1994, when Denver's Abdul-Rauf was shooting around 96%. Towards the end of a late April game against the Nuggets, Murphy, in the middle of a time out, asked the ref if he could have the ball for a second before the game resumed. He came back on TV and claimed he had put a hex on the ball, and lo and behold, Abudl-Rauf missed his next two free throws. Abdul-Rauf ended the season with 95.6% free throw shooting.
